Summer has not yet gone far, and autumn has arrived in such a hurry. As the saying goes, "Early autumn brings chilliness; late autumn brings death from heat." People believe that the timing of the beginning of autumn is related to the cool or stuffy weather. If autumn falls in the morning, the weather will be cooler afterwards; At the beginning of autumn at night, the weather will be relatively hot and stuffy. The hot and stuffy weather of 'hot to death cows' is commonly known as' autumn tigers'.
If viewed from a folk proverb perspective, the weather may noticeably turn cooler after entering the beginning of autumn. Of course, this inference may also vary depending on the region, so everyone should also pay attention to changes in the local weather. Pay special attention to the weather from the beginning of autumn to the end of the year.
Cold due to wind dryness is the first disease in the beginning of autumn
In addition to the common symptoms of a cold, such as headache, swollen throat, and stuffy nose, a more obvious difference is "dry". The throat is dry, the throat is tight, and even coughing is dry without phlegm. In the early stages of a cold, symptoms of dryness first appear. If not moistened and hydrated in a timely manner, it will worsen the condition of the cold.
In terms of diet, the focus is on nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and eating more crispy and refreshing fruits and vegetables, such as pears, lotus roots, grapes, and water chestnuts. Don't eat watermelons because they are too cold and can easily cause diarrhea when consumed after the beginning of autumn.
In addition to tender and tender fruits and vegetables, there is also one dried fruit that has a good lung moisturizing effect, which is almonds. The Compendium of Materia Medica lists the three major functions of almonds: moistening the lungs, clearing accumulated food, and dispersing stagnation. The top one is the lung nourishing function. Eating about 10 grams of almonds every day can help prevent wind dryness and colds to some extent. Sweet almonds have a good effect on relieving dryness and moistening the lungs, which can be eaten as an extra snack. You can also grind 10 grams of almonds into powder and add some rock sugar to drink. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rock sugar has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, clearing phlegm, and reducing heat.
If you find grinding more troublesome, you can directly buy almond milk, almond dew to drink, or buy ready-made almond tea powder to brew.
Take some vitamins after the beginning of autumn
Supplementing with vitamins B1, B2, and niacin: Increasing the amount of drinking water during hot weather can lead to excessive sweating and the loss of vitamin B group. Vitamin B1 is responsible for converting carbohydrates in food into glucose, which provides the energy needed for the brain and nervous system to function. Without it, the body's energy is insufficient and people become listless. Vitamin B2 is also responsible for converting heat energy, which can help release energy from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Nicotinic acid, also known as vitamin B3, is responsible for carbohydrate metabolism along with vitamins B1 and B2. If there is a lack of niacin, people will become anxious, uneasy, and irritable.
Vitamin C supplementation: In hot weather, the discharge of a large amount of sweat leads to the rapid loss of water-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin C - the demand during summer and autumn is higher than in winter. Therefore, when feeling tired due to heat on the day, vitamin C should be supplemented to alleviate fatigue.
I want to eat mandarin fish and bass in the beginning of autumn
It is best not to consume more than 100 grams of mandarin fish each time. Patients with asthma or hemoptysis should not consume it. Perch is suitable for all populations. Women who love beauty can add some fresh lemon when making bass. Sour lemon is very appetizing, and lemon is rich in vitamin C, which can also increase the whitening effect.
Mandarin fish and perch are favorite table meals for many people, both of which have characteristics such as fewer spines, tender meat, and easy digestion. Although these two types of fish are both good dietary supplements, their nourishing effects have their own characteristics.
It is the beginning of autumn season, and the mandarin fish and bass have grown fat and strong, and the nutrients accumulated in the fish body are also the most abundant. Mandarin fish, also known as flower crucian carp, was praised by the Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen as the "pufferfish", meaning that its taste is as delicious as the pufferfish; Some people compare it to dragon meat in the sky, indicating that the flavor of mandarin fish is indeed extraordinary. So mandarin fish has always been considered as the top grade among fish. Mandarin fish not only tastes delicious, but also has many special effects.
The famous ancient Chinese dietetic work "Dietetic Materia Medica" records that mandarin fish has beneficial effects on the spleen and stomach, as well as nourishing deficiency and fatigue. So, mandarin fish is very suitable for people with weak and weak body, emaciated body, and poor digestive system to enhance spleen and stomach function. It can also replenish qi and blood, especially suitable for elderly people to eat. It can not only replenish deficiency, but also avoid worrying about digestive difficulties. Eating mandarin fish during childbirth can have the effect of eliminating postpartum lochia.
Then talk about perch, which, together with Yellow River carp, Yangtze River shad and the Taihu Lake whitebait, is called the "four famous fish". Because perch prefer to grow at the intersection of freshwater and saltwater, their meat is very resilient and their taste is also tender and smooth. Perch has the effects of calming the fetus, tonifying the liver and kidneys, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with chronic stomach diseases, spleen deficiency, and indigestion can choose bass for dietary therapy.
